Burstable Bandwidth
Logical Net offers the luxury of a burstable ethernet or fast ethernet connection, but only charges you for the 95th percentile value of the data transferred to and from your domain within a one-month period. This enables you to easily absorb bandwidth spikes without sitting behind a throttled port or worrying about unexpected bandwidth charges.
Metered Bandwidth
One of the advantages of utilizing Logical Net as a colocation provider is the bandwidth-rich environment found in our data center. Unlike other carrier-neutral colocation providers, who simply sell you a shelf or rack in a data room and leave it to you to procure connectivity, all Logical Net colocation solutions include the availability of rack space, power, network monitoring, and bandwidth.
Our bandwidth is priced on a metered schedule, similar to how you buy water or electricity from a utility company. We evaluate the total amount of data transfer at the inbound and outbound to your equipment over a five-minute period. We record those figures and generate a historical graph of your actual inbound and outbound bandwidth utilization. The Mbps bandwidth is based upon 5 minute averages of your actual usage, then subjected to 95th percentile adjustment.
Bandwidth Increments
Bandwidth is purchased in average monthly bandwidth utilization increments. The smallest burstable increment available is 1Mbps. When you exceed your base bandwidth utilization increment (e.g. 1Mbps), you purchase a second bandwidth increment (1Mbps). Larger base increments are available and offer you more competitive bandwidth rates.
Fully Burstable Connections
The affordability of metered bandwidth is not the only reason to choose Logical Net. Our customers also enjoy the liberty of fully burstable Internet connectivity. We give each customer a fully burstable 100Mbs Ethernet connection to our switch. There are no caps on how much bandwidth you can use, and redundant connectivity ensures there is plenty of bandwidth available at all times.
A Winning Combination: Performance and Affordability
The advantages of a fully burstable connection in combination with a metered bandwidth pricing schedule are apparent. You have the luxury of an extremely large Internet connection without the costs. Because large spikes are averaged out over the course of a month, the spikes generally do not cause the average bandwidth utilization to exceed the allotted amount keeping your expenses low and predictable.
